Suddenly, thousands of flowers of light bloomed in the endless void.

Warships of different shapes, large and small, continued to sail out from the flowers of light and entered the void.

As more and more warships emerged, a joint fleet led by several MACROSS quickly reorganized the fleet formation after the FLOD transition and headed forward, the Centaurus A-galaxy, which is still 500 astronomical units away from the current distance of the joint fleet.

"DEFLOD is normal. There are no abnormalities in each department of this ship. There are no abnormalities in each warship of the fleet. Now re-forming."

Macross Quarter's battleship status administrator Mina quickly reported the current status to Captain Jeffrey.

"Well. This ship is now entering the first-level combat state!" Jeffrey nodded, and after giving an order, he pressed a communication button on the seat. This is the communication channel for contacting the MACROSS Phoenix.

"Captain Jeffrey, what's the situation?" The next second, Catherine, who was the Captain of the Phoenix, appeared on the home screen.

Jeffrey looked up at Catherine's avatar and nodded. "Captain Glass. We have entered a level 1 combat state."

"I understand. The warships have been prepared according to the plan. Captain Jeffrey, you should have understood the mission of Macross Quarter, right?" Catherine lowered her eyes, as if she was checking the information.

"Yes. I'm already familiar with the mission plan. But is it a bit too risky for the general?" Jeffrey was silent for a moment, and finally asked out the doubts in his heart.

Catherine was stunned for a moment.

But similarly, Catherine had the same doubts as Jeffrey for the next action plan. She had no idea why He Moming, as a general, decided to break into the enemy formation alone and detonate the perseverance that slipped towards death. It was obvious that more people should have completed this task.

Facing Jeffrey's doubts, Catherine was unable to give the answer.

"Captain Jeffrey. I cannot answer this question. Although I have the same doubts in my heart, we are soldiers. Since the general has issued an order, we can only obey and then execute it."

"Is that?" Jeffrey sighed slightly. "Then, I'm wronged. Captain Glass."

"No, don't worry. Captain Jeffrey. There is still half an hour left to enter the combat mission area. Please make the arrangements as much as possible." Before disconnecting from the communication, Catherine still reminded her.

"yes."

After finishing the communication with Catherine, Jeffrey thought for a while, then stood up and said, "Bobby, I'll leave it to you to take care of him. I'm going to Ozma and the others."

"Yes. BOSS. Please rest assured." Bobby raised his hand and stroked his hair, and confidently gave Jeffrey a thumbs up.

As the elevator went down, Jeffrey, who was thinking, soon arrived at Gnaku and found Ozma who was talking to Arte, Michelle, Luka and others.

Seeing the captain coming in person, Ozma scolded him fiercely for a few words, then left the team members and came to Jeffrey.

"Why do I feel like you are becoming more and more like a kindergarten teacher now?" Jeffrey looked at each other and scattered, checking the body, and then joking with Ozma.

"Those guys have recently abused the bugs and have all aroused superiority. They have forgotten how badly they were when they met Wajiura." Ozma criticized Art and the others for their relaxation disdainfully.

"Haha. You are young!" Jeffrey patted Ozma's shoulder and signaled him to go to the other side to talk.

Jeffrey looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention to this side. He lowered his voice and asked Ozma: "Did yours reveal some information to you?"

"That? Catherine?" Ozma was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. When Jeffrey asked this, Ozma knew what the old captain wanted to ask.

"Not only you, but when Catherine mentioned it to me, I also thought the general was too crazy. Even if this combat plan had a high success rate, it would not have to dispatch a general to personally rush into the enemy formation to detonate the stars, thereby triggering a black hole and destroying the insect entrenched in Centaurus, right?"

Jeffrey sighed.

"Although I don't know where the general got a super weapon that could detonate the star and trigger the black hole imagination in a short period of time. But no matter what, I still think the general's decision this time was too reckless."

As soon as Ozma saw the look of Jeffrey looking over, she immediately shook her head, and she couldn't help her, saying that she had no choice. "Captain, even if I ask my house to persuade the general, it would be better for you to go and ask Miss Lin Mingmei in person."

"I don't need to find you if I can do it." Jeffrey snorted coldly.

Not only did He inexplicably decide to break into the enemy formation alone, Lin Mingmei, as the Galaxy singer, rarely did not follow the fleet and stayed on the earth for the launch test of a certain instrument. Such a strange phenomenon made Jeffrey's heart unable to help but feel a burst of doubts.

Ozma shook his head and sighed: "There is no way! Who made us soldiers? Although we are nominally a civilian armed company."

Jeffrey sneered a few times.

"Damn it! What's the difference between us and regular soldiers now? If Miss Lin Mingmei spoke, our boss would probably send the entire S.M.S to Miss Lin Mingmei right away."

"Isn't this good? Phoenix Fleet~ I only realized how big this world is after following the general's footsteps!" Ozma didn't care about Jeffrey's attitude and said leisurely.

"That's true!" Jeffrey said in agreement, then lowered his hat and looked at Ozma with a serious face. "When you attack later, you and your team must cover the general until you can no longer keep up with the general's footsteps."

"Have you heard it? This is the captain's order."

Ozma immediately stood attentively on his face, saluted, and replied: "Yes, the order was indeed received!"

"I've asked you all."

—————

While the Joint Fleet was preparing for the pre-war period, a warship with a silver-white shuttle-shaped shape next to the MACROSS Phoenix was also making final preparations.

With the assistance of laser guidance, a huge device with an oval shape, gray-black at both ends, white in the middle, and a diameter of more than 30 meters is slowly moving out of the Gnaku of the MACROSS Phoenix and slowly flying towards the silver-white shuttle warship.

Among them, there are four engineering mechas carefully escorting them.

"Confirm that the gift package is in place. The fixed work has been completed. Admiral, you can set sail." After confirming that the huge oval device was firmly fixed to the warehouse of the silver-white shuttle-type warship she controlled, King Kong said to He Wuming, who was sitting aside.

"Well, let Catherine and the others follow the original plan." He pondered for a moment, looked at King Kong and said, "King Kong, why should he take the initiative to participate in this mission? According to the original plan, there is no need to use any warships of the Blue Fleet."

King Kong, who had just issued He's inexplicable order, lowered his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said calmly: "Because I want to do it, I chose to make a request. Admiral, don't you want me to participate in this operation?"

He shook his head inexplicably, saying that he had no intention of this.

When the witch speculated that BETA had not moved for a long time, He Moming felt something. As a result, when the witch left, he delivered a "gift bag" to He Moming, a task that was not formal was placed in front of He Moming.

That is, the stars of the Centaurus A galaxy that are entrenched by BETA will be detonated, thereby triggering a black hole and clearing the BETA that almost fills the Centaurus A galaxy.

I have to say that such task requirements are indeed the best way to deal with them.

However,

Such a convenient way of handling is difficult to implement.

According to the combination of ultra-long-distance optical reconnaissance images and data sent back by the reconnaissance fleet, the number of BETA in Centaurus a has increased from the original hundreds of millions to nearly 400 million. The closer it is to the star of Centaurus a, the more dense it is.

In such a situation, it is very difficult to enter the effective distance where the "gift package" can be sent to the star, and even the difficulty is beyond imagination.

Originally, He Wuming planned to rely on an unmanned warship focusing on defense modification to rush into the Centaurus at super-light speed, and then Phoenix Gundam exploded with all his strength to create a road that would allow the warship carrying the "gift pack" to reach the position of launching the "gift pack", and finally returned to the vicinity of the joint fleet in a short-distance quantum jump and evacuated again.

But at the moment of making the decision, King Kong suddenly offered a request to follow He Wuming into the A-galaxy of Centaurus and ignite the gift package.

result,

Even though He was inexplicably worried, facing the insistence of Lin Mingmei, and Lisa Kyujo, he finally agreed to the request of King Kong to act together.

In fact, according to the current technological level of the Blue Ship Girl, it is indeed much more accessible than the unmanned warships that are reinforced in a hurry. Whether it is the Klein force field or its own nanotechnology, it should be able to persist until the moment the "gift package" is detonated.

only···

"King Kong, maybe this ship may be lost." Considering the various unexpected occurrences, He Wuming felt that it was necessary to retain another option to detonate the "gift package". That is, use this warship as a carrier to directly rush to the effective distance, thereby detonating.

In this way, it is much safer to be intercepted by cosmic BETAs with light-level capabilities than to launch the "gift package".

King Kong shook his head slightly for He inexplicably apologized.

"Don't say that. Admiral. It's just a ship. As long as there is enough nanomass, you can get as many ships as you want." As soon as you say this, King Kong's mouth moved, as if he was hesitant, and two red dizzies faintly flew on his face. "Just... As long as you can... help..."

However,

Before King Kong could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sudden alarm.

The MACROSS Phoenix, which is in the front, successfully attracted BETA on the periphery of Centaurus.

"Here you come!! King Kong! Be prepared to accelerate. Just leave it to Catherine and the others!"

"Yes! Understand!! Klein force field, expand!"

"Super Light Engine, Start!!"
Chapter completed!
